Chapter 229

“Sharon, sweetheart, don’t worry about me,” Uriah said calmly, his tone carrying a touch of mischief. “Even if you weren’t around, I’d still make sure she got what’s coming to her. Wants to fake an illness, does she? Hmph. Let’s see how well she keeps it up after I’m through with her.”

He’d always had a sharp sense of justice and a long memory for grudges. Nothing disgusted him more than someone pretending to be sick-people like Kelly.

Back when he thought Sharon was doing the same thing, he’d put her through quite a bit himself.

Sharon understood his nature well. She didn’t try to argue.

Something seemed to occur to Uriah then. “By the way, earlier you mentioned divorcing Carter. Are you serious about that, or just trying to scare him?”

Sharon paused. Her voice was soft when she replied. “Even you don’t believe I really want a divorce?”

Earlier, she couldn’t understand it-why Kelly, who should’ve been thrilled by the idea of her leaving, was so eager to stop it.

Now she got it.

None of them actually believed she’d go through with it.

Uriah gave a snort. “You two have a child together. It’s only natural you’d think about what’s best for him. Besides, the Biggs family’s not bad. And Carter, for all his faults, isn’t completely useless. It’s normal if you still have feelings for him. If you really could let him go, you wouldn’t have put up with everything he did to you for so long.”

Sharon said nothing.
